Clever Tiebreaker
If you opt for the “Clever” choice, one team member will be chosen to answer 10 timed, multiple-choice, skill-testing questions. This quiz will be conducted on your phone, and speed is crucial.
Most of the 10 questions will come from the WC Tournament Info page. If you've thoroughly read the Tournament Information, including all linked pages, you'll have a strong advantage. Be sure to review spare rules, the round-robin format, how to enter scores, and other key details.
The scoring system is as follows:
- Each question carries a maximum of 10 points.
- You have 5 seconds to read each question without any penalty.
- After the initial 5 seconds, points will be deducted as time passes, down to a minimum of 3 points for a correct answer.
- An incorrect answer will still earn you 2 points.
- If the 15-second timer for each question runs out, no points are awarded.
- Given this system, it’s more beneficial to guess an answer than to spend too much time deliberating, as an incorrect guess still earns you 2 points, while letting the timer run out results in zero points.
Before you tackle the actual quiz, a practice run featuring representative questions will be available. This allows you to familiarize yourself with the app's interface and functionality, ensuring a smooth experience when you proceed to the real challenge.
With this structure, you’re almost guaranteed a minimum of 20 points, and the maximum score achievable is 100 points. So, think fast and good luck!
Please note, this tiebreaker is only used for seeding the playoff brackets and does not apply to playoff games, which will still be decided by a draw to the button contest.
